In private practice for more than 36 years, Dr. Mosely is a talented, board-certified, plastic and reconstructive surgeon who specializes in reconstructive, hand, plastic, and microsurgery. Located in Reston, VA with a second office in Alexandria, VA, she established her business in 1981, from which she serves Northern Virginia and surrounding areas of Washington D.C. For the first 13 years of her career, Dr. Mosely gained experience as a rotating intern at Charity Hospital in New Orleans. She then completed an internship and residency at the hospital before becoming a surgery resident at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, followed by a clinical surgery fellowship and general surgery residency at the University of Louisville Medical Center.

Following those opportunities, Dr. Mosely worked with Dr. Harold Kleinert as a hand surgery fellow for a year, then became a research fellow and plastic surgery resident at Yale Medical Center from 1975 to 1977. From 1977 to 1980, Dr. Mosely spent time as a tutor specialist at Middlemore Hospital in Auckland, New Zealand, worked at Clinica Planas in Barcelona, Spain with the aesthetic surgery team, and became a plastic surgery consultant with the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Hospital in Liberia.

Specifically, Dr. Mosely specializes in surgical repair of the hands from trauma, congenital deformities, and repetitive motion, sports, or workplace injuries. Although she is highly skilled in hand surgery, she is very well-rounded in all aspects of plastic surgery. She is currently a licensed physician in Virginia and Maryland, and is a diplomate of the American Board of Plastic Surgery. She was formerly certified by the American Board of Surgery, which was not renewed after 1987 due to her focus on plastic and hand surgery.
